I need 2 choices O_o

Whenever I use a Formula, I always use AHG... and whenever I use HSAK, I use Purgatorium. And whenever I add supports, I add Auto Flanger.. this doesn't really work as sometimes you need to use one to use the other or you use one with another....

I tend to spend the most time in the elementary window when I'm making a coaster. I think my first FVD coaster took like 100 hours in elementary, and the layout was nowhere near done.

Elementary should include all the formulas because you have to use elementary with those formulas. And I'm pretty sure no one in the world uses the formulas included in elementary.

I spend 3/4 on the trackwork, which is 100% made in the Elementary. 1/8 is for the supports and the other 1/8 is for the visual aspect of the coaster (3ds Max).

I use elementary pretty frequently, my tracks are about 50% hand-made and 50% elementary. i'm currently learning some fvd's (headache). i dont really plan on learning purg, and i'm trying to learn GSOC for fog effects and tunnels and such. I also use AHG on all of my steel tracks. Most of the time my tracks turn out ok using all those.

I only use Object Creators, very recently brought Sketchup (which is incredible), and occosaionally the built-in smoother.
I would never lower mysef to Elementry...

I use NoLimits for fun, not to get the best rates.

It's fun getting good rates...
And besides, you usually get good rates anyway!

using nolimits is not only for good rates, i find it extremly entertaining to mes around with different elements and to tweak things with the ahg, i dont just do it for good rates.

Vid it's not always fun getting good rates. These days with the members running around a track hardly deserves them anyway.

I personally agree with TheArchitect. I've used H:SAK every once and a while for turns and drops, but I'll always end up altering it in some way. NoLimits for me is just a refuge from my stupid-horrid-anti-gay-family-life and it's a huge entertainment for me...Deserved rates, whether high or low score, are fun. But they do not define the fun I find in NL [:)]

I personally have tonnes of fun using FVD and HSAK, moreso than handbuilding.
